New Civilization: Nona
Directions: Create your new civilization with the knowledge that you have learned throughout this project.

Summary of Civilization:

The Nonas lived in present day Japan. The Nona people speak japanese. In Japan the air is very polluted. The air is so polluted because of all the factories and the millions of Nona people who live in Japan. Japan is an island country in East Asia. Japan is located in the Pacific Ocean. Our flag is white with a large red dot directly in the middle. The red in the flag represents wisdom and the white in the flag represents freedom. Traditionally, sumo is the Nonas main sport to play. Some other sports the Nona people play are judo, karate and kendo. Sumo is a total competitve contact sport, where two wrestlers try to force one another out of a circular ring, or touch the ground with anything other that their feet. Judo is a sport meaning "gentle ways." The object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking toe or elbow or by applying a choke. Hands and feet as well as weapons are a part of judo, but only in a pre-arranged forms and they are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraint, throw, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. A karate practitioner is called a karateka. Kendo is also another sport that the Nona people play. Kendo is basicly a sword fighting sport.

They also have a local goverment. In the Nonas goverment no one is aloud to own a gun with out a lisence. Also all the Nona people have to worship pandas. They also all have to speak japanese.

Japan is north-northeast of China and Taiwan and i bit east of Korea. Japan is south of Siberia in Russia. Japan's teritory is 377,923.1 km², of which 374,834 km is land and 3,091 km² water. Japan's total area is slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Montana. Japan is bigger than Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand and the U.K., and is 1.7 times the size of Korea and 10 times the size of Taiwan.

Climate of Civilization:
The Nona live in Japan. Nona lived in the middle of Japan. They grow their crops in the water. So they didn't have to water them every day. In Japan it got very hot during the summer it got up to 110 derages. Inthe winter time in got up to -110 derages. In the spring it was just right it was 70 derages.

Technology: The Nona they used guns and weponsto fight in wars. They grew rice, squash, beans, other veggies, corn. The men and young boys would go hunt during the day. The women and the young girls would stay home and sew, cook, clean and make the dinner for the men and boys. So the Nona didn't have time to water their cops and veggies.

TWO FROGS

Once upon a time in the country of Japan there lived two frogs, one of whom made his home in a ditch near the town of Osaka, on the sea coast, while the other dwelt in a clear little stream which ran through the city of Kyoto. At such a great distance apart, they had never even heard of each other; but, funnily enough, the idea came into both their heads at once that they should like to see a little of the world, and the frog who lived at Kyoto wanted to visit Osaka, and the frog who lived at Osaka wished to go to Kyoto, where the great Mikado had his palace.
So one fine morning in the spring they both set out along the road that led from Kyoto to Osaka, one from one end and the other from the other. The journey was more tiring than they expected, for they did not know much about traveling, and halfway between the two towns there arose a mountain which had to be climbed. It took them a long time and a great many hops to reach the top, but there they were at last, and what was the surprise of each to see another frog before him!
They looked at each other for a moment without speaking, and then fell into conversation, explaining the cause of their meeting so far from their homes. It was delightful to find that they both felt the same wish--to learn a little more of their native country--and as there was no sort of hurry they stretched themselves out in a cool, damp place, and agreed that they would have a good rest before they parted to go their ways.
"What a pity we are not bigger," said the Osaka frog; "for then we could see both towns from here, and tell if it is worth our while going on."
"Oh, that is easily managed," returned the Kyoto frog. "We have only got to stand up on our hind legs, and hold onto each other, and then we can each look at the town he is traveling to."
This idea pleased the Osaka frog so much that he at once jumped up and put his front paws on the shoulder of his friend, who had risen also. There they both stood, stretching themselves as high as they could, and holding each other tightly, so that they might not fall down. The Kyoto frog turned his nose towards Osaka, and the Osaka frog turned his nose towards Kyoto; but the foolish things forgot that when they stood up their great eyes lay in the backs of their heads, and that though their noses might point to the places to which they wanted to go, their eyes beheld the places from which they had come.
"Dear me!" cried the Osaka frog, "Kyoto is exactly like Osaka. It is certainly not worth such a long journey. I shall go home!"
"If I had had any idea that Osaka was only a copy of Kyoto I should never have traveled all this way," exclaimed the frog from Kyoto, and as he spoke he took his hands from his friend's shoulders, and they both fell down on the grass. Then they took a polite farewell of each other, and set off for home again, and to the end of their lives they believed that Osaka and Kyoto, which are as different to look at as two towns can be, were as alike as two peas.
